“Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves”. – Peter Lynch
Attempting to time the market is a common mistake made by Investors. Trying to predict the market’s highs and lows is extremely challenging and often results in missed opportunities or poor timing. Even when fundamental analysis has led investors to add to their armoury by using technical analysis, this can be fraught with long-term regret. Instead, investors should adopt a systematic approach, such as pound cost averaging, where regular investments are made regardless of market conditions. This can mitigate the effects of market volatility and potentially enhance long-term returns. Whilst also reduces the emotional urge to scalp quick gains which are not always easy to replicate and enables the prudent investor to focus on investing and the power of compounding.
